A Bad Month for Everyone

San Diego wasn’t the only Southern California region to see a home price drop in January. The median Orange County home price dropped by 6% between December and January, although the year-over-year appreciation is notably stronger than San Diego’s at 9%. SoCal as a whole was down 2.1% since December. Of course, it’s never a good idea to make too much of one month, especially when that month is January, but we will obviously be watching for emerging trends in the months to come.
